I was in the ER last night, being really dizzy and throwing up. They did my blood work and found that my liver enzyms were elevated.. So, the had me do a 24 hour urin test for pre-eclampsia that I turned in today and got more blood work done... Now I am waiting for test results and its killing me... Any ideas of why this can be and if it is pre-eclampsia then what will they do from there oh yeah I am 29 weeks

Liver enzymes are typically elevated with pre-eclampsia as you already know. If that is the diagnosis after your test results come back it's quite possible that you will be put on medication for high blood pressure to lower your pressures until delivery of the baby is safe.

It is also possible, but not probable, that you have something called HELLP syndrome, so your blood will need to be tested as well.

I got my lab tes back and I do not have pre-eclampsia( border line tho).. But my liver enzyms are way to hight.. So, more lab work in the morning. I am really worried about this. And weird thing is I don't have high blood pressure at all... SO WORIED

Well, I went to the doctor today. And they have no clue why they are elevated.. So, I got to go in weekly and do a 24 hr pee test evry 2 weeks.. Just want to feel better and know what's wrong with me
